I believe I was making a point that the uid/gid->sid mappings we're
talking about are there so Unix file permissions/ACLs can be mapped to
NT ACLs in ways that make sense to users when they look at them. Thus
the issue of mapping uids/gids to host-based or domain-based SIDs+RIDs
is really a cosmetic issue.
